The information we (did not) had at the time was not that he was injured. My point was that I understand why he is not in the squad as he reported for training at the same time as:
- Garnacho
- Mainoo
- Bruno
- Dalot
- Lisandro
Out of all these mentioned players, Shaw is the most injury-prone player here. The point I was making is that he should not be thrown into a game, only 7 days after he reported for duty, but rather build his fitness up, given how important he is when he plays, so my assumption was that they want to ease him in.
Fair play to those who guess correctly that he will get injured while in training for United.
